The treaty wruhg from the Dey of AL CITER s by the British Navy is constantly violated, and the in terference of Great Britain, the protectress of the op pressed in all parts of the .world, will soon be called for again. The Etoile gives from the Universal Gazette of Greece an account of a battle having been fought on 18th August between the Greek army and that under ItEnacinD PACHA r upon a plain near Athens, which terminated in favour of the Greeks. The account, however, appears to us to bear strong symptoms of fabrication. We must refer to the extracts for• other points of information contained in the French Papers. ruiexcir voting, elm'. 23.

They contain no political news, but the accounts from Groningen of the sickness raging there are of a most melancholy description. The number of deaths which, from the 7th to the 14th inst., was 142, had increased in the following week to 175. So great a want of medical assistance is experienced, that the greater part of the sick remain without advice. We received this morning the Nuremburg Corres pondent, 'of the 19th instant, bait its contents are totally uninteresting to English readers. Frankfort Tapers of the 21st instant, have also arrived :—Under date of Vienna it is said, that His Imperial Highness, the ARCHDUKE. PALATINE, of Hungary, called a joint meeting of both Chat*. hers of the Diet, sitting at Presburg, in which a resolution of his Majesty the Emperor in answer to the repreSeht4tion of the Diet was read. A principal -point- of it was, .that the States were to declare what subjects they considered it neces sary to be discussed in the present Diet, and how much time they, thought would be required for the . purpose. The answer was to be given to his MAJESTY in five weeks at the latest. This appears to be a-summary mode of legislation, which might be introduced with . great benefit into chambers blessed with midnight long speeches, if it did not indirectly interfere with the right of discussion. But the Em peror of A ustafA. may be reckoning without his host. It is worse than useless to convene the representatives of a nation for state purposes, if they are not allowed sufficient time to execute their duties. Besides, what does it import to his Majesty, how long they are about the improvement of the laws, so that they dispatch th e business effectually ? But Austria has a rare way of conferring liberty—the boon is insidiously of fered to the people, much in the same manner that poiso n is administered to rats- 7 —if they touch it they die. lExtract of a Letter, slated Angostura, June 27.] SoMe circumstances having taken place in 'Venezuela, which may probably be exaggerated by the enemies of the Country much to its prejudice, we think proper to give you some of the principal facts relating thereto ; the long smothered desire which has ex isted in Venkuela, particularly in the Caraccas, for a Federal Government, burst forth early in Mi 4 last, when the Cabildos of Caracc.as, Lagnayra, Valencia, Porto; and some other of the smaller 'towns, by public acts invested General Peer with the Supreme Civil and Military authority, until Government would convene the Nati ona l A ssem bl y, w hi c h, b y t h e C ons titution, ought not to take place until the year 1831 ; and declaring that the inconveni eace suffered by the people in Venezuela, in consequence of the distance front the seat of Government, was too much to be longer borne. Subsequently, every town in Apure, from Ba rinos to Salt Fernando, have made similar declarations, so that we think Government will have little choice, but to accede, for it certainly would be a very dangerous expedient for Govern anent, to resort to force to reduce this rebellion, widely spread, Its it is; as yet, however, there are no hostilities commenced or in tended that we know of, on either side, only the communication between Mar arena Barcelona, Cumana, and Angostura, which remain true to the Government and Constitution, is stopped with those places that have declared for Paez. Expresses have been des patched from all quarters to Bogota, at well Si to Panama, for Bolivar, who is earnestly exorted by Poet to Hy to Venezuela to save the Paola, so that the present state of things will soon be brought to a crisis, and it is confidently expected, re-ele c ti on o f G eneral Santander, as without bloodshed. The, Vice-President, has not a little accelerated this burst, as he has for some time back become very obauxious to Venezitelians. Dr. Pinar has also been lighting the match, as since his disgrace with Go srin io has bleu la Val enc i a w i th Paez, his eonfi 4 denti 1 friLd g and eja ad ti viser. It would have been observed by our ship news of yesterday, that his Majesty's ship Diamond, Capt. Lord NAPIER, whose arrival at Spithead or Plymouth has been long inxiouily.looked for, had reached Milford Haven on the 25th inst. We, mentioned some time since that the DiaMond mined fiOrn Lisbon on the 10th of August, having on board his Excellency Sir CHARLES .STUART, and that some uneasines s would have been exper i ence d respecting t er, in consequence of her non-arrival, had it not been surmised that site had proceeded, on leaving the Tagus, to the Western Islands, for the purpose of taking on board again some officers and men, whom Lord NAPIER had put on board the wreck of the 'ship Francis and Mary, o f and frOm St. John's, New Brunswick, for Liverpool,. which the Diamond had fallen in with in her voyag e from ItiO de Janeiro to Lisbon. This surmise ap pears to have been well founded. On the arrival of th e Diamond at St. Mary's, on iv of the Western Islands, Lord NAPIER found the vessel there, with his officers and men, who had been supplied with some r e9uisite stores and provisions by an American vessel. The Diamond proceeded with the vess e l to St. Michael's, thence to Flap' and Terceira, and reached Maw& it t safety with her, having been obliged:to ;make for, that port in consequence of the south-east w ind, which prevented their coming up Channel. it in supposed that Sir CHARLES STUART must Islands, hecn desirous, of proCeeding to the portuguese 'lands, f or the ur os of making known .the este -1)66'64 the New ' e Constitution in Portugal, as it is not t} of that LOid would have taken uport i himself the respOnsibility of Proceeding to St. Mary's for the mere purpose of recovering the vessel in question. Sir CHARLES STUART and suite remain on board the Diamond, and, it is supposed, will proceed in her to Portsmouth. The Diamond convoyed a ,valuable Spanish ship, bound from Manilla for Corunna, to within 400 miles of the latter port. She had remained some time at St. Mary's, on accouiit of the Colombian privateers. " There's another star gone out" in the Milky Way of waning schemes and 'shabby speculations. The golden Shareholders of the Chilian Mining Company, after meeting yesterday to count their gains had not sufficient brass to hold up their heads, although their golden promises were all turned into copper. What a villainous realization of their authentic assurances that the Mines in Chile would be productive of nothing but gold, and that to an unlimited amount, when lo ! they are plagued with "baser" metal till the finger of scorn points to the gravelly substance of their hopes ! It has been said that a prophet has no fame in his own country, and we fear that the " grave diggers" of the Chilian Association, have not thrown up enough "of rubbish to cover themselves decently in the pit which they dug for their silly 'subscribers. 'We are really surprised that such a sober-minded man as Mr. TrromAs WILSON should be led away by the vanities of golden toys, even though countenanced by the stout-hearted inspirations of BA RCL AY. But the wisest will err if they place their faith upon the treasures of molehills, and pay others for the labour of digging ! We have no doubt that the grave-diggers in the play could get up a much better farce to beguile the money-changers of their wits. This precious com pany has sunk about 60,000 pounds in gold, to dig up some tons of copper ! There was no gold to be got, and they wisely thought that the appearance of the pricious metal, was better than nothing, and so they came forward asking for more gold in order to go deeper into the mine, rightly judging that gold like truth is to be found at the bottom of the well—but the Subscribers thought it was a bottomless pit, and told the Directors to go to perdition, for the bubble had bursts and with it the Chilian Company. Accounts have been received from Demerara, that the Colony was 'thrown into a state of considerable agitation, by some new Church regulations, which the Dutch and Presbyterians have pe titioned against, and which seem to have excited great interest. It is reported that the 64-gun man of war, building at Mar seilles for the service of the Pacha of Egypt, on her being launhched, fiU ou her broadside and bilged.' • • It is reported in the City, that Lord Cochrane. has arrived at Napoli di Romania.

GUILDHALL—(Tuts Day.) Tim PUBLIC LrDGIR.—A gentleman, who, in a low tone of voice, stated that his name was, we believe, Pitt, applied to the sitting Magistrate for a summons against the Editor or Publisher of the Public Ledger newspaper, under the following circum stances stated, that in that Paper a paragraph had been inserted, reflecting on his character; that the reflection was unjustifiable, and that he had endeavoured to persuade the editor to this effect. Having failed in the first instance, he had received from Mr. Hall, Secretary of the Catherine Dock Com pany, two letters, proving that the paragraph had been written in error ; those two letters he had enclosed in one written by him self to the editor, requesting him, after reading the enclosed letters, to publish the enclosing one, which contradicted the statements in the paragraph. The editor had not only reload to insert the correc tion, but also to restore the official (as they were called) letters; and therefore the complainant applied for a summons, calling upon the editor to show cause why he should pot return those letters. Sir Jost PYRRING .considered that this was a case for_an ac tion in trover, and ghat therefore the complainant's best plan would be to apply to his solicitor. The complainant again urged the granting of the summons, but the Magistrate peremptorily refused to comply. BOW-STREET...---(Tms Dar.) William Bowling was brought up ou a charge of assault on Cribb the ex-champion of England, who stated that the prisoner was in the habit of coming to his tavern, in Parton-street, and making use of abusive and treasonable language, which savoured of radicalism, and was entirely inconsistent with loyalty. Last night in particular he was more riotous than usual, when he (the complainant), took him by the hand and turned him out of doors ; the prisoner returned and indulged in abusive language respecting his Majesty, whereupon the complainant turned him out a second time, in doing which he was assaulted by the pri soner ; his object in bringing him to the. office was .to prevent a recurrence of similar conduct. The prisoner did not deny the main features of the charge, but it appeared that he was tipsy at the time., Mr. Morstruu. ordered the warrant to be suspended, and told the prisoner if he should be guilty of similar conduct again, he should give hail. At present he might be discharged on his own promise not to go to Mr. Cribb's again. HATTON-GARDEN.-(THIS DAY.) A respectable-looking middle-aged man, named Jas. Dodson, was brought before the pitting Magistrate under the follo►c-ing cir cumstances : John Oates, driver of the cabriolet No. 10, said, that he was called from a stand in Holborn yesterday by Mr. Dodson, who ordered him to drive to Tooley-street, and from thence to various other places, all of the first respectability ; he kept him out, on the whole, nine hours, and it then was discovered that he had no money to pay the fare, which amounted to 14s. Sd. ; lie was therefore lodged in the watch-house. The defendant admitted the truth of the driver's statement, sad entered into a most incoherent detail of his connexions and respectability, and gave references to various firma and establish ►ueuts of the first credit, but declared he had no money with him, nor should he have till Monday. He said he resided in Kent. A clerk of Mr. Timber's, the auctioneer, of 46, Hatton-gar den; was present, and said, that Mr. Timber had done business for Dodson, and be believed him to be as respectable as he repre sented, although he feared that at all tithes he was not right in his head. 'nits appeared evident from his behaviour, and he was di, charged on an understanding that the fare and expenees should lie paid at the Office by I. &el. + on Monday: THAMES POLICE OFFICE. --..(Tress Day.) Au arrival from the hills of Dorsetshire, in the person of John Wilmot, presented himself before Mr. BALLANTYNK this morn ing, to prefer a charge against Ohl* Phillips, for robbing him of four sovereigns. The complainant, whose appearance presented a happy combination of sturdy health, and rustic simplicity, commenced the following narration ;---;About three weeks since he : was passing up Oxford-street, when he oh- weed two persona violently disputing, as he thought. He stop ped, and was immediately accosted by a man in a sailor's dress, who stated, with the assumed roughness of a British tar, " that he was very hard up, not a shot in the locker, and wanted to sell his watch to relieve his difficulties ;" "but," con tinned he, " that of a Jew," pointing to the man, " only olfera me 41. for 11 watch that etist me lot " but, my brave lad," said he to complainant ; " if you should like to have I t , you shall have it for at." .I.lin, who flap to want a wa t c h, and not to want cosh, was drawing Ms baud slowly and doubtfully towards the pockets of his leathers, received a whisper from the . JeW—" Buy it for 44 if you can, and I will give you LL for the bargain." John walked towards Holborn, still doubting, and of fering 4/. for it, looking first at the watch and then at the men, during which time his hand had reached the bottom of his pocket, which the sailor observing, hastily changed his mind, and agreed to receive 4/. from hint, as he thought he was a good fellow. The Jew, whilst the money was changing masters, made his exit up a neighbouring court, which John perceiving, quietly followed him, thinking be wished to settle with hint se aretly. Before, however, he had entered one end of the court, the Jew had made his exit at the other. John, nevertheless, con soling himself with the possession of the watch, proceeded calmly homeward, and iu order to remove his doubts about the real va lue, he took it into the first watchmaker's shop he came to, and asked its worth. The owner of the shop valued it at about twice as many shillings as he had given gonads. After a few minutes John proceeded—He had heard a good deal about " pop-shops" and such like things, and to secure can - Arination of the value of the article, he walked into a pawnbroker's shop, and there they offered him Mt omit. Things went on in this state until Friday last, when, in walking through the Strand, be observed the Jew ; he quickened his pace, and having removed all doubts as to identity, he, with the nerve of another Neuron' Lion, seized' " the circumcised dog by the throat," and had well nigh strangled him before .he was 'permitted to articulate " you shall have your money." This assurance somewhat cooled the irritated blood of John, and he quitted his hold for the purpose of accompanying him to • his lodg ings to receive the money, he not having so flinch about him." But having now discovered that there was no appearance of the watch about the person of the countrymn, the Jew asked him where it was. John was struck dumb, the Jew shrugged up his shoulders on hearing it was in pawn, but said as they must wait a friend's return, they would adjourn to some public house, and he would in the meantime get out the Watch. They did so, and after taking some porter, the Jew asked John for the ticket, saying he would go, and get out the watch, and as a hostage for his return, he took 'mother watch from his pocket ; and gave it to him. The unthinking coun t r y. man permitted him to depart, and of course he has never since been heard of. John, determined, however, not to lose his watch, and having heard of the Tower, this morning posted off there, in search of the sailor. Forto‘ *gain befriended him, for on reaching Tower Hill, almost the first object he saw was Elias, and John, seizing hold of him, dragged him, ri et artais to this Office. Mr. BALLA rerYsz asked the prisoner what he had to say. fie replied that he was willing to refund the money. —John brightened up. • The Magistrate, however, refused a compromise, and folly com mitted hint for the fraud.

THE POOR LAWS,—The feeling that p was. marevails upni on - this subject throu g h out t he Ch , of Cork fested during the last week in the most decided man ner.

PROOFS OF THE MARCH OF IN irritated schoolmaster in the West'of England, not being able to make a clownish scholar remember the word Mule, exclaimed while riding out one day, " now you booby ! don't you knOw what's between a horse and an ass ?" " Why yees, Sir, to be sure I doe —every fool knows that howsomdever." " Then why don t you tell me ? say directly what ,it is between the horse and the ass, or I'll punish you." " Why the saddle, to be zure, Sir--I 'mowed that all along. ANOTHER PROOF OF THE MARCH OF INTEL LECT.—The following genuine epistle was sent to a respectable tradesman of this town last week :—" Sir the reason i have not bee sided my Bill i have meet with siverl Disappoints i will call over the First Week after Niclifilmes—P—S."—llyniouth Journal.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS--(Tins DAY.) Joseph Sharpe, William Mayston, and others, were indicted for a riot and assault on Mr.'Marshall, heese monger, at 35, Rosemary-lane, on the 14th of August. Sharpe alone appeared; the others were on their own rec_ognizanees. • . • Mr. ADOLPIIIis stated that the case arose out of some false pretensions to some louses on the part of one of the defendants. They had, on the day above mentioned, - Made an illegal distraint on the premises of the proseciitor, Mr. Marshall, and collected a mob round the door. They pro ceeded to - the greatest violence, having struck the prose cutor, rind shown a disposition to attack the premises by storm. He was forced in consequence to get . an Officer from the Thames Police Office. Mr.•Wm.Marshall by Mr. PRENDERGAST-4.4 was 011 the above day in my shop, when two women i inne i n an d asked the price of some cheese; while I was speakin g to them, I heard a rush, and Sharpe and the others came into the shop; Sharpe had a stick, and told me that if I moved he would knock me down; 'I tried to get tlikm out ; Sharpe took up an iron two-pound weight, and struck me violently on the forehead ; when they came in, the women took me round the waist to prevent my turn inglhe defendants out ; I haVe therefore included them in the indictment. I got an, officer to protect me from the mob. 'I was taken to Bow -street on the askrult, but the Magistrates dismissed the charge. Cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY.--I swear I did not know that the defendants came with a warrant of dis traint; Sharpe did not lay a paper on the counter and tell me it was a warrant ; before Sharpe struck me I did not strike him, nor take up a knife from the counter and swear I would run him through if he did not leave the shop. Several other persons corroborated this evidence. Mr. ALLEY for the defendants, stated, that Sharpe went to the prosecutor's house, attended by his two men , with a warrant from the land l brd. Ile went in and laid the warrant on the counter, and demanded 4.5/. for arrears.— Marshall collared Sharpe, and insisted on their leaving the house. the counter, They unter did trdot, a knife, and Marshall ran to the other end o and threatened to run Sharpe s i eo did through, if he' seized did not go out. A scuffle ensued, and Sharpe, in his own defence, took up the weight, or he might, and very likely would have bee», murdered. James Mackey-1 went with Mr. Sharpe, the broker, to levy the distress. Marshall looked at the inventory, and then said that he would pay no rent; and if we did not leave theshop.he would run us through. CrosS-exinimed by Mr. ADOLPIIVS—Am an excavator; have never been to execute a distress before. Am certain Marshall saw the warrant, as Sharpe took possession ,of th e counter in the name of the whole. I was engaged in this affair by mere accident. Manson Powell--1 went with Sharpe to execute th e ; Sharpe defended himself by striking - t-luie warrant; he went into the shop, and said he seized for rent due to Mr. Callaghan ; Marshall said he did not car an y thing about it, but turned round and brandished e knife, and said that he would stick Sharpe if h e di dn a t Other witnesses deposed to these facts and M l o e t i h w e e r t w h i e th si t i b ap e weight. ire The CHAIRMAN summed up,and piumeontended that they the Jury found the prisoner Guilty.

Heathcate, E s i‘ , : 4 P. for Coventry, Langton Ball, was tempted to gather a f. tuts, in a eopptce near Cockuage, for which he was sum moned ofib'euntrethoef expenses attendant mtutotz:terde, before l a iii :% u l l g u i t t l r i a e t'' ;e w na h l o ty m t i us f attendant on the conviction, amounted to Ekven Shillings and Sixpence ! ! making the entire slim Twelve Shillings 1 ! * And a friendly intimation was given him, that if not p a id w ithi n a given period, he would be committed to prison. Owing to tiVne circumstance, the "day of grace " wa s su ff ere d to expire, std then, although 'he offered the constable the full and entire sum, it was refused—he was dragged from his fantily—fet tered with hand4uffs, and, marched off to the County Gaol—there to associate, fin. Two Months, with felons of every degree. After this, we may expect to hear of the convic tion of every child detected gathering blackberries front the hedges, or bilberries front the commons. We confess, that we cannot exactly discover why a penalty so severe as imprisonment, should be inflicted upon offenders against the nutting laws. What can the most strict morality make of it? A few hule boughs may indeed he broken by the nutters, but more injury is done in the course of the night by the vitits of hares and rabbits than by ail the nut-gatherers in the season. But why should we men tion hares and rabbits! they are Game—they belong to a privileged class—they may offend with impunity—they can injure every man's property—but woe to hint who touches them they can destroy the' subsistence of thousands of men—they can fill the gaoli with victims, to whom a residence with- felons may be but the means of rendering innocence infected with pollution_ but the lives of game appear of more value to their possessors than the welfare, the liberty, and the life of fellow men. Is a man, we ask, or a hare, of most importance to society ? • Tut HILT..
